HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Boil hay in new ironware kettles and
pans to make them fit for use.
To remove tar and paint from cloth, rub
well with spirits of turpentine or benzine
If tea or coffee cups are discolored rub
them with sapolio; it will make them
fresh as new.
Marble can be kept clean, and white
washstands, bureaus, etc, by rubbing with
sapolio occasionally.
To keep colored calicoes from fading in
the washing, make thin -four starch and
wash them in ii instead of suds.
BY dissolving little borax in the water
in which red napkins and tablecloths are
washed, it will prevent their fading
Air feather beds, pillows, etc, but do
not sun them, as the sun will draw The oil
out Of the feathers and give them an un-
pleasant smell.
The white of an egg makes an excel
lent varnish, not only for paintings, but
also for morocco. Apply it with a soft
sponge or brush.
Pickles should not be kept in tinware
vessels, as the vinegar dissolves the metal,
forming a poison. Earthen jars, glass
bottles or wooden casks are preferable.
To wash vanished paint, take table
spoonful of soda to pailful of water. 1t
will clean it better than soap, and If weak,
will not iniure the varnish. Bran water
answers similar purpose
Never use water for culinary purposes
that has stood in lead pipe over night.
At least pailful should first be drawn off,
Remove machine grease with cold water
and soap, never with hot water.
To get rid of moths in furniture, saturate
each piece well with benzine, being careful
not to have any light or fire near the pieces
or in the rooms thus treated, until the ben
zine fumes are entirely dissipated.
To remove mildew from cloth, dissolve a
tablespoonful of chloride of lime in quart
of water, dip the mildewed spots in this
and lay in the sun. If not wholly re-
moved by one application repeat it.
Keep the hairbrush clean by washing it
in weak soda water, adding little am
monia, if you have it. Use shallow dish,
so as not to injure the vanished or pol
ished backs, and rinse well in clean water,
after the grease is removed.
Take grease out of the carpets, or any
woolen goods, by covering the spots with
blotting-paper and ironing with fiat iron
only moderately hot. As the grease is
absorbed by the e'paper in one place put a
clean part over the spot and continue until
the whole of the grease disappears.

THE SOUL.

" / am weary of life" said the rose,
AS she leaned TO look over the wall:
" am tired of the garden close,
And the birds, and the bees, and all -
She was plucked with a careless smile
As beautiful dame went by,
To bloom on her breast awhile,
And be cast in the dust to die.
am tired of the tree" said the bird,
" Or the leaves in the wind and the rain,
OF the trills and the tunes | have heard
And warbled again and again.
He was shut from the sky and the stars
In a cage, like a savage thing,
And beating his breast on the bars
He died, with broken wing.
q would go TO the war;" said the boy
am weary of clover in bloom;
In the rush of the battle is Joy,
And pant for saber and plume
In the face of-the foemen he led
To the wall of the wounded, the moan
OF the dying-and over the dead
He mounted the steps of a throne.
For the soul is a thing that grows
The soul is deathless flame:
In the king and the bird and the rose
1t was ever the one and the same.
1t was born of a beam of the sun
from the heart of the blossom it passed
To the bird and the boy, where 1t won
The glory it pined for, at last.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY ExHIBIT.-It is
of the utmost Importance that Santa Clara
should make an exhibit at the coming
State Fair in Sacramento, and the Board
of Trade should make every possible effort
to secure the cooperation of the business
men, farmers and manufacturers. Hun
dreds of people viii come into Sacramento
from Nevada during the fair, who will not
attend the Mechanics Institute exhibition
in San Francisco. While the latter may
be looked upon as a wonderful undertaking
in the way Of advertising the resources of
the State, yet San Jose and Santa Clara
county should take advantage of every
opportunity that presents itself to bring
the productions of this valley to the notice
and favorable consideration of outsiders.
1t will be grand advertisement to make
an exhibit at Sacramento, and, as the time
is short, the preliminary work should be
commenced at once.-.Sdn Jose Mercury.

And she hustled away to attend TO the
summons of Malvina, the cook, her head
full of vague matrimonial schemes, ON be-
half of her youngest son, and the fortunate
damsel who was to inherit the golden
showers of Aunt Agnew's wealth.
Ned showed no unwillingness whatever
to go to Aunt Agnew's.
"Of course Pll GO" said he; "and Pll
bring Lila back for a good visit. l say,
mother, Pve been intending to tell you
for some time that | mean to marry Lila

"Ned p'

"She's good, and she's pretty, and love
her, and believe she loves me-"
"The ungrateful, audacious, scheming

=" Have | then been warming a viper in
my bosom all these years p
Mother" said Ned, "Lilia is the
sweetest girl in the world. and won't hear
a word against her We shall be poor, but
| am willing to work for her."
And he walked out Of the room with the
dignity and resolution of one who is thor
oughly in earnest. And Mrs Black began
to cry and wonder whether Frank, away in
the White Mountains, was too far COM
promised to Miss Priscilla Grant to admit
of his entering the lists for Aunt Agnew's
heiress.
Failing any more satisfactory methods
of solving the problem, Mrs. Black re-
solved to accompany the rebel, Ned, TO
Aunt Agnew's.
Dear Aunt Abigail she sighed, as
Lila ran upstairs with her shawl and bon
net, what am / so do? Here is Ned
persisting that he will marry Lila Red
burn"
"Well, | guess the best way is to let
him marry herw said Miss Agnew.
You can't either lock him up or bind
him over to keep the peace, so far as /
adopted daughter"
u came on purpose to be introduced
to her." said Mrs. Black. How old is
she ?"
about eighteen"
Mrs. Black heaved spasmodic sigh.
"Oh, Ned Ned if only you had kept
that rebellious heart of yours safe in your
own possession p she thought, adding
aloud, " and pretty ?"
Well, people say So Here she comes
now.
Mrs. Black stretched her neck this
way and that, to see behind Lila, who
Just then came into the room, blushing
and lovely.
Where? Pardon mel may be dull,
but don't see."
I have adopted Lila Redburn," said
Miss Agnew, dryly.
"And Lila Redburn has promised to be
nay wife" said Ned Black over the new
heiress' shoulder. $50 | don't see but
that Aunt Abigail will have to adopt us
both"
"Pll take the matter into considera-
tion," said the old lady. But hope you
are satisfied now, Niece Black w

IN MEMOR1AM.

WRITTEN IN MEMORY OF GEN. JOHN A. LOGAN
Another brave soldier has fallen,
Another brave hero has gone
And the nation mourns the Loss to day
Of an honored, gifted son;
He hath joined the ranks that are marching on
To that beautiful land SO fair,
And the toil-worn soldier now silently rests
Unmindful of strife or care
Foremost among the ranks he stood
A patriot stanch and true:
None honored him with greater zeal
Ihan the boys who wore the blue;
For side by side they fought to save
Our country and its laws;
And the deeds of valor won by them
Have gained the worlds applause.
Sleep on, brave soldier, undisturbed,
Thy cares of life are DER;
Thy loved ones soon will come to thee
Where parting is no more;
Sleep on no more the battles roar
Will wake thee in its dun
No more you'll face nation foe
Or dream of victories won.
Sleep on, brave soldier, peacefully,
Naught can disturb thee now;
Sleep on q crown of glory rests
Upon thy hoAored brow
Friend, patriot, statesman thou has been,
SO loyal, true and brave
Thy name untarnished aud revered,
Shall live on history page.

have been cut, to.wit: The Silver
Star or Bella Union, the Brunswick,
the Solferino and the Garfield. It is
estimated by competent engineers that
in the Brunswick vein alone there are
TWO BILLIONS Of tons Of ore which,
if reduced to bullion, would yield
TEN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. The Gar.
field lode contains ore assaying from
t69.75 to $233.95 per ton, though
not in such large quantities.
The total annual expenses Of the

THE SUTRn TUNNEL,

Interesting Information Relative to
this Great Work-Its Cost to Date,
Sources Of Revenue, and Probable
Annual Expense.
The annual report Of the managers

over $40 tho company receives roy.
atty Of e. per ton. On and after

ments OF ore will aggregate fully
1900 tons-upon which the tunnel
company will receive a royalty OF at
least $500 per day, or about $780,.
900 per annum. The royalty SO far
paid foots up about 100000.
2. Income from the transportation
